Answer:

The length of the object would shrink to zero which is not possible.

Explanation:

A rocket or any body cannot reach the speed of light because according to theory of relativity the and the Lorentz factor the length of the object would shrink to zero and the time dilation for that body would be infinite.

The Lorentz factor is given as:

$\gamma=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$

where:

v = speed of the moving object

c = speed of light

State: the units for acceleration are?

krok68 [10]

A unit of acceleration needs a unit of length in the numerator
and a squared unit of time in the denominator.

Example: meters / second²
      feet / minute²
      smoots / hour²
    furlongs / fortnight² .

Ideally, in order to completely describe an acceleration vector,
you also need to state a direction.
